Preparation for PM Narendra Modi and Benjamin Netanyahu tour
According to reports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit the US in February. Apart from this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can also visit America later this week. Netanyahu, who has recently boiled out of prostate surgery, can reach America anytime after Sunday. The main objective of his visit is to discuss issues related to Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. Netanyahu is scheduled to stay in the US for two to three days.
Trump’s strict stand on Gaza issue
Donald Trump has already made his stand on the conditions of the Gaza Strip. He has suggested that 15 lakh people of Jordan and Egypt Gaza give shelter. He believes that this step can help in bringing stability in Gaza. He said, “Gaza has currently turned into a pile of debris, and time is required to improve it.”
However, Trump’s proposal has been strongly opposed by many Muslim countries including Jordan and Egypt. The Egyptian President said in two words that “Palestine is for Palestinians, and Egypt for the citizens here.” It is clear from this reaction that Trump’s Gaza plan is not going to be easy.
New dimension to Israel-American relationship
Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the US to discuss issues related to Gaza and Iran. However, the date of his visit is not fixed in view of Netanyahu’s health. It is likely that he may reach the US on Sunday and return by Wednesday.
Strength of Indo-US relations
India is an important partner for Donald Trump. He has always addressed PM Narendra Modi as “friend”. Even in his first term, there was a lot of strength in Indo-US relations. This time too, Trump has indicated a conversation with Modi. It is believed that many major decisions can be taken regarding bilateral trade and strategic cooperation in Modi’s upcoming US visit.
Trump’s silence on China
Significantly, Trump has included India and Israel prominently in its priorities, while no interactions with China have been mentioned. This indicates a special attention to India and Israel under Trump’s US-first policy.
Trump’s foreign policy signs

The growing relationship with India and Israel, their activism on sensitive issues like Gaza and Iran, shows that Trump wants to establish a strong role of America internationally in his second innings.
Eyes on further plans
Now it will be interesting to see what issues are agreed during PM Modi and Netanyahu’s visits and how will Trump’s strategy be on the issue of Gaza and Iran. Meanwhile, the international community is closely watching Trump’s foreign policy.
